New Earth
Steam Supported: Thanks 
Of course if you want something better, check Eden: The New Frontier
At first my plans was to make a simple city journal, but then I said "let's add a small background story". So why not? Let's add a small nice story about changing the original Maxis towns.
During the 21st century, the Simkind colonized the Solar System, terraformed Mars and established a global resource based economy, creating a society based on the scientific wisdom. During the 22nd century, the first interstellar voyages becomes reality. Sims discovered new planets orbiting around nearby stars, some of them almost perfect for colonization. In other cases, orbital colonies placed around the planets. Who said that colonization should limit on the planetary surfaces?
We are now in the distant future, where Earth is now a long memory. Astronomers found an Earth-like planet orbiting around 104 Tauri. It was the time where nanotechnology evolved into a God-like tool, changing the matter by will. Some scientist proposed to change the surface of this planet and turn it into a new Earth. After many years of nanomodifications, the result was the creation of New Earth.
Let me play on this planet, with my rules and ideas. For now, let's play with the regions I showed you in the first page of this city journal. First think, the colours. I don't like the colours of the terrain. the rocks and the water. Especially the colour of the terrain in the higher altitudes is just like the mountains that surrounds Athens. UGLY!
I want vivid and beautiful colours, so let's recolour the regions. London is ready, Berlin is under progress.
This is what I did in London. With Columbus Terrain Mod, Pegasus Grassy Rock, White Sand Beach and Rivit water mods, the result is much more beautiful.
But that's all? Just recolour the region? No, I have some other tricks in my mind. Let's begin with this area.
I don't hate the Maxis trees, but now the fit better in urban environments than in forests. So let's remove them by raising and lowering the terrain. Remember that we are in the distant future, the age of the God-like technology. Hmm... semi Gods, because truly Gods can build new whole universes 
2 bodies of water? Why not a bigger one? Let's connect them.
And what about smoothing the environment? This will make the construction of new cities easier.
Finall touch. TREES! Bring them on!
I think that the Olympic Coast tree controler is perfect. Trees, trees everywhere
Let's play a bit more with the areas. What if I conect all water bodies, making larger lakes and even inland islands?
Oh yeah, the London region is ready, just as I want it. Maybe I'll add some more features, like craters and mountains.
In the next pages, we'll reconstruct the 2 Maxis towns
